Separate settings for VR and for Monitor

[unlikely_spider]

Hello. Can someone point me to where I can have separate image quality settings that DCS launches with depending on if I'm in VR or using my monitor? Not sure if that's possible, and didn't immediately find anything using a quick search here.

There's this:

But I just use a powershell script with independent options files.

 

#popup
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell
$answer = $wshell.Popup("Yes = Enable VR, No = Disable VR, Cancel = Quit",0,"DCS Launch Script",32+3)

#program paths
$dcs_exe = "$env:ProgramFiles\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe"

#option paths
$options = "$env:userprofile\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua"
$vr_options = "$env:userprofile\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\vr-options.lua"
$novr_options = "$env:userprofile\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\novr-options.lua"

#Cleanup multiplayer tracks older than 7 days
Get-ChildItem "$env:userprofile\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Tracks\Multiplayer\" | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) } | Remove-Item

#enable vr startup, menu choice Yes
if($answer -eq 6){
   if (Test-Path $vr_options){#verify that VR options file exists
       Copy-Item $vr_options -Destination $options #copy VR options to game options
   }
   Start-Process $dcs_exe -NoNewWindow -Wait #start DCS
   Copy-Item $options -Destination $vr_options #save any changes to VR options
}

#disable vr startup, menu choice No
elseif($answer -eq 7){
   if (Test-Path $novr_options){#verify that no-VR options file exists
       Copy-Item $novr_options -Destination $options #copy no-VR options to game options
   }
   Start-Process $dcs_exe -NoNewWindow -Wait #start DCS
   Copy-Item $options -Destination $novr_options #save any changes to no-VR options
}

#menu choice Cancel
else{
   exit
}

Yes, both of these help. Thanks much.

You can also save custom graphics options now so I assume you could set one up for VR

Doesn’t work well that option. For example, if you want to run a VR saved option, you need to start DCS, select the save option, then DCS has to restart and reload. Pretty painful.

 

Skate’s utility is by far the best solution.

Is this where I select the different presets? What happens then - do I start DCS with a given preset, then change the settings as needed, then it will save just for that preset?

Exactly that. Don’t use the ones marked with ‘default’. Use the PRESET ones and call them something more meaningful.
